with hardly a seat in the dress circle or
balcony ON Thursday night, Miss
Crowcl played wild Cat for the first
time The play is the work Of Mr.

re spccts original and interesting. HE
play is laid, amid interesting scenes and
has two good characters. those OF Wild
Cat and the jew Rosenbaum. Miss
Crowcl appears to good advantage III 1t.
and does some excellent comedy work.
The performance OF SEstran@e' on
Friday evening. was attended by another
crowded house The play was rendered
very acceptaby. thanks to the intending
tact. zeal and energy of Miss Crowcll.
To-nsght the well-known play, "Mollie

Tha public SAYS that she is "A charming

grace and beauty. During the past week,
She has shown depths Of tragic force
that one scarcely looked for, and II self

ed on them will not be lasting. Blue
grass is most likely to form perman-
ent sod in this country, but observations
show that it will not succeed in soils
that are deficient in lime. The gradual
disintegration of the limestone that un-
derlies the soil in Kentucky and Mis-
souri, is probably the leading cause OF
the remarkable growth of bluegrass in
these states, as the climate of both OF
them is quite dry. 1t has often been OBJ
served that it is easier to secure per-
manent bluegrass soil on land once
occupied by trees than on land on which
trees are not found.

Many wonder why the brute creation ex'
eel mankind as a rule when it comes to a
question OF health. Investigation quickly
ascertains the cause. It is because the
brute naturally obeys every law OF health,
while mankind is constantly degenerating
owing to excesses OF our ancestors and our
individual imprudence. Sudden exposure
to extreme climatic influences, gluttony
improper food, alcoholic stimulants, over
exertion OF mind and body, worriment
anxiety, care, etc., all have marked effect
on the human system. Be cured by using

The Distributions of Earthquakes.

In the present condition of the earth's
crust, so far as the brief historic record
goes to show, earthquakes of an in
tensity menacing to man are limited to
certain regions which probably do not
altogether include more than one
fourth of the area of the lands, though
shocks OF less degree of violence APP
pear to be common to every part of the
surface of the continents. The re-
gions of recurrent shocks of consider
able violence are so irregularly dis
tributed that they cannot be adequately
noted in this brief essay. They in
clude, in Europe, Iceland, Portugal,
Spain, and Southern Italy; the region
of the Lower Danube, and some of the
islands of the Grecian Archipelago. In
Asia, the, larger part of Asia Minor,
several limited areas in Hindostan, the
greater part of the eastern littoral re-
gion of Asia, and the islands of the
japanese and Malayan Archipelagoes
are sub ;ected to destructive shocks.
In Africa, there is, save in Egypt.
little architecture to suffer from earth
quake disturbance, and even little
history to record it. Egypt seems to
have been, on the whole, singularly ex-
empt from great earthquakes, while
the western portion of the Mediter-
ranean face of the continent shares the
disturbances from which the Spanish
peninsula has repeatedly suffered.
The vast Australian and Polynesian
district of the Pacific affords number
of regions of great earthquake activity,
of which New Zealand is the only one
where we have anything like good OBJ
servations for even few score years.
1t may be said, however, that the
greater part Of this vast area seems TO
be more exempt from these indications
of activity in the crust than any other
equally extensive part of the ea-.h's
surface.
We now come to the twin continents,
North and South America. The obvi-
Gus resemblances in the physical con-
fguration of the continents lead us 10
expect likeness in their conditions of
stability This resemblance in certain
measure exists. The western shore of
both of both of these continents, the
seward face of the great Cordilleran
range of mountains, is the seat of the
most frequent and, on the whole, the
UlOSJ tltIRtblC OC-
cur within their limits, while the east
ern shore of each is comparatively little
assailed by shocks. The northern, or
Venezuelan, district of South America,
which is apparently the seat of an act
i've mountain growth, of which there is
no parallel in the northern continent,
is a district of recurrent shocks of great
violence, such as have never been OBJ
served in high ATTITUDES on our own
continent. On the other hand. the re-
gion from the mouth of the Amazon to
the La Plata River, which corresponds
to our seaboard Atlantic States, and
the provinces of Canada, enjoys an inn
munity from disturbances probably
not exceeded by any other equally ex-
tensiye area occupied by the Aryan
race, while the corresponding region in
North America is much less fortunate.

"It was funny conceit calling me your
darling Maud"
"Whew!" he whistled to himself, II see
it. She got Maud's letter and thinks il in
tended for her"
The time passed pleasantly, and BERTHE
Raymond and Polly Glynn had pledged
their trust, and even fixed day for the
wedding before they parted that night.
I'm not sorry. he thought on his way
home, "for Polly is a lively, Jolly creature,
and sha'n't freeze, that's one consolation. ="
Next morning Raymond was mortified TO
find that the letter he had written TO Dan
O'Brien had been slipped into his drawer,
and so hadn't been sent to either of the
ladies.
what, in the name Of fortune, did
send to Maud, them"
That query was soon answered, for he
recognized among his letters one in the
stately Maud's writing.
Breaking the seal, he read words of low
ing endearment, and apologies for her cold
ness the preceding evening. He had sent
her some penciJed notes on a law case,
which of course she could not understand.
Her GOODNESS was assumed, in order 10
teach him a lesson not to be so careless in
future.
"Well, I'm bigger idiot than 1 thought, {"
he said, rs he read the letter, and knew
that ii was now too late.
He managed by some means to gently
undeceive Maud, and told her he loved her
with a brothers affection.
Polly Glynn became Polly Raymond In
two weeks, and, under her gentle guild
ance, handsome Bertie is as happy and
prosperous as anyone could wish to be.
Not until he danced his first born on his
knee did he tell her that she became his
wife through that lawful dilemma"
He has never regretted his carelessness,
but whenever Maud visits Polly, as she
does sometimes, BERTHE thanks his stars
that he was once in terrible FIX.

Harsh Judges.

/ was taken frequently when boy
into the different criminal courts of the
metropolis, and while there still exist
great anomalies and many serious i'm
projections, there can be no doubt that
the machinery is much improved since
those days. Among the changes is that
in cases of felony, involving as they
did then III many, might say most of
them, the penalty of death, counsel
were not permitted to address the jury,
and a theory was in many quarters
triumphantly enunciated that the Judge
was the prisoners counsel. Such fact,
however, was scarcely discoverable by
an unscientific observer, and the de-
meanor of some judges certainly pro-
duced different impression. Baron
Quincy, whom L remember well, ex-
hibited great harshness of manner and
considerable impotence, but this prob
ably arose from his own rapidity of
perception, and certainly not from any
innate cruelty of mind. He extended
much kindly hospitality to the Junior
members of the bar, and he is the last
of the old gentlemen that remember
who in his own house received his
guests in knee-breeches and silk stock
ings. -Sergt. BaIlantyne, IN Temple

An Abe Lincoln Story.

/ heard q story repeated the other
day as an "Abe Lincoln story" but
which is older, and must have slum-
bered somewhere for a good while.
Certainly it is not one that the poll
ticians would be likely to repeat on the
stump. because it reflects on their craft.
In a little group at the Parker House
a rather noisy young politician from
the City Hall was echoing the senti-
ments of Henry Watterson and defend
ing the principle that the spoils belong
to the victor.
Il see no reason said he, "why any
Republican should be kept in Fed
eral Office here in Boston while i,
Democrat, who have worked hard for
the party, am left out in the cold.
"That reminds me-, +" said an elderly
man, whom all the town would recog-
nize if / were to describe him, "of an
incident that heard of early in Lin
coins administration. There was a
local politician who went on to Wash
ington to get an Office that he felt sure
only awaited his application to be given
to him. In couple of weeks he came
back.
Well, did you get your Officer his
friends asked him.
No. said he.
Did you see the PRESIDENT
Yes, of course
"'What did he say?'
well, we went in and stated our
errand. He heard us patiently, and
then said: Gentlemen, L am sorry
that / have no office for Mr., but if
L can't give you that L can tell you
story"
IS We thought best to hear the story
and let him go on
Once there was certain King" he
said, who kept an astrologer to fore
warn him of coming events, and es-
pecially TO tell him whether it were
going to rain when he wanted to go on
hunting expeditions. One day he start
ed off for the forest with his train of
ladies and lords for a grand hunt, when
the train met a farmer, riding q DON
key, on the road.
Good-morning, farmer said the
King.
- G ood-morning, King said the
farmer, where are you folks going ~
Hunting said the King.
80 Lord, you'll all get wet said the
farmer.
"The King trusted his astrologer.
of course, and went to the forest !;
but by midday there came on a
terrific storm, that drenched and buff
feted the whole party. When the King
returned to his palace he had the as
trologer decapitated, and sent for the
farmer to take his place.
Laws sake, said the farmer when
he arrived, : it amt me that knows
when it's going to rain; it's my don
key. When it's goin' to be fair weather,
that donkey always carries his ears for
ward, so. When it's goin' to rain, he
puts 'em backward, so.
Make the donkey the court as
trologer shouted the King.
1T was done. But the King always
declared that the appointment was the
greatest mistake he ever made in his
life.
Lincoln stopped here.
Why did he say it was mistake p
we asked him. Didn't the donkey do
his duty?'
"' Yes said the President, but
after that time every donkey in the
country wanted an Office"
The shout of laughter that echoed
from the hotel corridor at the telling
of this narrative would have made the
fortune of two or three entirely new
stories.-IaUerner, iIt Boston Post.
